inanimate alice by kate pullinger & babel

Some digital fiction is more cinematic, with differing levels of interactivity and introduce gaming elements.

The award-winning Inanimate Alice tells the story of Alice, growing up in the early years of the 21st century. Written and directed by writer Kate Pullinger and digital artist Chris Joseph, this series of multimedia, interactive episodes uses a combination of text, sound, images, and games as Alice takes us on a journey through her life from the age of eight through to her twenties.

Accolades include:
“....ebooks. it's not about the device, it's about the experience. and the experience is not about what you or I think of as "reading" because that is not what will happen. I was profoundly struck by inanimatealice.com. people should take a look at that production. imagine that, and imagine that *authored* easily, and portable, and you see a glimpse of the near future.” (Peter Brantley)
